Check out DirectTV or Dish Network. They both offer high-speed internet. Not sure about the price.

I just switched to all in one cable, phone and internet costs about the same as when I was buying them separately except now I have high speed internet and more cable channels, and free long distance 24/7.

I've had Earthlink (Sprint) 512K DSL for a few years. Last month I changed all my telephone services to sprint and now have 5 MEG DSL for the same price I was paying for the 512K....................Go figure!!

I love it!! My neighbor has Comcast cable internet but I like my DSL better. She seems to have download speeds that vary drastically. My DSL seems to have download speeds at the same fast rate all the time. I'm very pleased. -charley

I have DSL with Cavalier, my daughter has Comcast...we are under the same roof..

Most of the time Comcast cable seems faster[by the numbers anyway], but not always, it seems to change with a busy load on cable..
My DSL is pretty consistent...Speed difference is hardly noticeable..

Forgot to mention, Her cable internet was down 5 out of the last 30 days....I find her on my computer more times than not..

I was a Comcast customer but made the change to DSL....I won't go back to cable...DSL works in this house..

I have Verizon DSL. Tell you the truth it's all a big buisness crock if you ask me.
In my location Verizon and Charter Cable have totally monopolized the entire area. They have set up so many loop holes and so much red tape that it makes it 10 times as hard for other companies to move in and compete.

I cannot believe the price for Charter cable in my area. You think they'd drop their prices to compete with Direct TV and others.

My wife and I have the Verizon Freedom package and the DSL package together. Our bill for the two is over $100 a month.

As long as "greed" is in the picture the prices will always be jacked and we'll always get screwed in the end

zuki ... I may be for a while yet ... it looks like the hi-speed access is VERY limited in my area: COX cable which I don't like, and earthlink satellite which is quite pricey ...
